RM2922   Prehnite and actinolite

These prehnite specimens are a novelty from the Mineralexpo Barcelona-Sants 2022 mineral show. They show rich groups formed by sheaf aggregates of crystals, very brilliant, translucent and with a very uniform green color. Sometimes they are accompanied by small acicular crystals of actinolite. They belong from a Moroccan locality near Boulemane.

Size: 8.9 x 6.6 x 5.2 cm.

RM2437   Pyrolusite replacing manganite

These specimens of manganite partially replaced pyrolusite, come from a locality not yet described in the mineralogical bibliography. This deposit is located in the province of Boulemane, in the Fez-Meknés region, about ten kilometers from the well-known Aouli mines. It is a formation very similar to that of Imini (near Ouarzazate). These manganese deposits, both in Imini and in the Boulemane area, were formed in a karst system. Associated with shallow marine dolomites of the Cretaceous age and that currently form sub-horizontal mantles cutted by erosion, overlaping areas of volcanic rocks. Manganese minerals are found in dolomite breccia and ferruginous clays. We have carried out X-ray diffraction studies showing us the presence of both species: manganite and pyrolusite.

Size: 7.8 x 4 x 2.5 cm.
Main crystal: 3 cm.
